In which we have gone under
Remember
When you speak of our failings
The dark time too
Which you have escaped.
But you, when the time comes at last
And man is a helper to man
Think of us
With forbearance.
Bertolt Brecht

A talk about trees is almost a crime
Because it implies silence about so many horrors?
That man there calmly crossing the street
Is already perhaps beyond the reach of his friends
Who are in need?
The guileless word is folly. A smooth forehead
Suggests insensitivity. The man who laughs
Has simply not yet had
The terrible news.
